    Ok so let's start off by knowing that I'm retarded. My 4wd lights were blinking and 4wd was not engaging. I took the front actuator off trying to clean it, took a bath in gear oil, now i can't put it back on!!! It has like a fork that goes inside the diff but i can't line it up!! Is there a truck to this??? I need serious help before i have to tow this thing!!

    Yeah, cut the fork off. RTV a plate over the thing. Put in solid axle with manual hubs. TA-DA!
